D. M. C. Shaw grew up being enthralled by science fiction action and adventure movies. In fact, for many years he wanted to become the next Stephen Spielberg. He wrote many fantasy and science fiction short stories when he was younger and dreamed of a day when he would see his stories become reality.

His work allowed him to travel the world which helped him develop an appreciation for many different countries, cultures, and people.
